just hit me that "legolas greenleaf" is the lord of the rings equivalent of "atm machine" or "chai tea"

Every time I rewatch The Lord of the Rings I oscillate violently between “it’s important to show men having close, supportive friendships and I’m so glad Peter Jackson chose to show all the male characters being loving and physically affectionate with one another in a healthy, platonic way” and “damn, these bitches gay. good for them, good for them”

I honestly feel like nobody in lotr mentions how fucking weird Legolas is. He stays up pacing the floor and singing to himself in the dead of night. He deadass stares straight into the tree line in the absolute pitch black when no one else can see anything. He yells goodbye to a river he has heard about in songs. He's so strange and not one character mentions it AT ALL. I absolutely love him.

Which Lord of the Rings characters say fuck:
Aragorn: definitely says fuck, and has to catch himself and tone it down when he becomes king
Boromir: yes. "They have a fucking cave troll."
None of the hobbits do; at least, not at first. Pippin picks up swears from Boromir, and Sam will swear under duress
Gimli: swears all the time, but mainly in Khuzdul. He definitely tries to teach Khuzdul swears to Legolas
Legolas: swears very rarely, and usually in Sindarin, which sounds so pretty that it goes unnoticed. Gimli often tries to goad him into swearing
Gandalf: knows all the swears, but doesn't say them
Galadriel: used to swear when she was younger, but that was thousands of years ago, and she no longer does.
Eowyn: swears constantly. every other word.
Faramir: swore once, and still regrets it.
Gollum: doesn't know any swears, but would say them if he did.
